FMurphy Art Studio does not sell or rent personal information.

Customers may provide photographs or other reference materials for commissioned artwork.

These materials are used as reasonably necessary to assess, plan, and create the requested artwork and to communicate with the customer about the commission.

By submitting reference material, you confirm that you have the right or appropriate permission to provide it for this purpose.

The use of images of completed commissioned artwork in my portfolio, website, social media, or marketing is addressed separately in the FMurphy Art Studio Terms and Conditions.

If you do not want your completed commission shared publicly, please notify me as described in those Terms.

FMurphy Art Studio may use third-party providers for services such as:

• Payment processing;
• Website hosting and e-commerce;
• Email and communications;
• Shipping and delivery;
• Website analytics;
• Business or cloud storage; and
• Accounting or administrative services.

These providers may process information as reasonably necessary to perform their services.

Payment-card information may be provided directly to a payment processor. FMurphy Art Studio does not necessarily receive or store complete payment-card information.

Third-party providers have their own privacy and security practices.

Some service providers may store or process information outside Nova Scotia or Canada.

When this occurs, information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is processed.

Where appropriate, I take reasonable steps to use service providers and safeguards suitable for the nature of the information involved.

Customers and website visitors outside Canada may have additional privacy rights under the laws applicable to them.

If you choose to receive marketing communications, I may use your contact information to send information about FMurphy Art Studio, including:

• New artwork;
• Commission availability;
• Markets and exhibitions;
• Products; and
• Studio news.

You may unsubscribe or withdraw your consent at any time using the method provided in the communication or by contacting me.

This does not prevent necessary communications concerning an existing order, commission, payment, delivery, or customer-service matter.

The FMurphy Art Studio website may use cookies or similar technologies to operate the website, support online shopping, maintain security, remember preferences, understand website use, or improve website performance.

Where required by applicable law, consent will be requested before non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies are used.

You may also be able to manage cookies through your browser or device settings.

I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or for legitimate legal, tax, accounting, business-record, security, or dispute-resolution requirements.

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, it may be securely deleted, destroyed, anonymized, or otherwise disposed of as appropriate.

I use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the business and information involved.

However, no website, email system, payment service, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Depending on the law applicable to you, you may have the right to:

• Request access to personal information I hold about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Withdraw consent where processing depends on consent, subject to applicable restrictions;
• Request deletion of certain information where applicable;
• Object to or restrict certain uses of your information where applicable; and
• Raise a concern about how your information has been handled.

I may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

Some information may need to be retained where required for legal, tax, accounting, transaction, fraud-prevention, or other legitimate purposes.

I may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in the business, website, technology, service providers, or applicable requirements.

The date at the top of this Policy identifies the current version.
